Bitcoin PayPal 또는 Venmo와 같지 않음
Bitcoin is an entirely new paradigm of money, not a simple secondary payments layer built to increase ease of access like PayPal or Venmo.

Bitcoin is not like PayPal or Venmo. This would be obvious to anyone who understands money. As Shakespeare might say, “Ay, there’s the rub.” Almost no one understands money. We are never taught about how fiat money actually works at home or at school or at work … even when you work on Wall Street or you run the country. I’m confident very few politicians could pass a simple exam on money. I’m almost sure none of our federal employees could. And I’d hazard a guess that very few CEO’s or CFO’s of Fortune 500 companies could either.

“What is fractional reserve banking?” “What was the base layer of the global monetary system until 1971?” “What is the base layer of the US money supply now?”…are complete mysteries to 99% of the population. But not to Bitcoin어.
Bitcoin is the base layer of a new digital and decentralized monetary system that favors 아무도. It allows two parties armed with nothing more than a 휴대 전화 to send value via the digital rails of Bitcoin from the U.S. to anywhere in the world, almost instantly, with no middle men. That’s why governments hate it so much!! Venmo and PayPal are not and will never be the base layer of a new digital and decentralized monetary system. Venmo and PayPal are second or third layers in our centralized fiat monetary system. They make life easier for many, but they come at the cost of centralized control and state financial surveillance and repression. All this talk of CBDCs makes me sick. Why? Because a CBDC는 감시 코인에 지나지 않습니다..
님이 촬영 한 사진 Zlaťáky.cz on Unsplash역사상 한때 금은 아날로그 및 중앙 집중식 통화 시스템의 기본 레이어였습니다. 이제 모두 명목 화폐인 정부 통화는 금 위에 두 번째 레이어로 구축되었습니다. 그리고 1971년에 리처드 닉슨은 오늘날 우리가 여전히 그 영향을 느끼고 있는 것과 같은 금전적 마술을 사용했습니다. 그는 일방적으로 금으로 교환할 수 있는 달러의 나머지 고리를 끊었습니다. (참고: 이 능력은 찍은 1900년대 초 미국 시민들로부터. 닉슨이 잘라낸 것은 미국 달러와 교환하여 금을 받을 수 있는 다른 나라의 능력이었습니다.) 그래서 오늘날까지 계속되는 화폐 실험이 시작되었습니다.
Why was that a magic trick? Because, presto chango, the dollar — not gold — was suddenly the new base layer of our monetary system as of that moment. Everything in our monetary and banking system today is built on top of that. I’m confident no other country would have approved the idea of an “unbacked dollar” becoming the world’s reserve currency at Bretton Woods if they knew that a short 27 years later the link to gold would be severed. It was a classic bait and switch or as most bitcoin call it — a rug pull.
님이 촬영 한 사진 Pavel Brodsky on UnsplashThe latest example of why it’s important to differentiate between the payments use case that compares bitcoin to PayPal and Venmo, and the true sound money narrative that bitcoin is actually about, is FTX의 몰락.
Too many people are led astray by claims that there are “superior” unsound cryptocurrencies which promise faster, cheaper payments. What they might not realize is that these promises are only made based on the centralization and lack of security that these altcoins are built on. Many who fell for this, invested on exchanges like FTX and may have ignored the Bitcoin Maximalist mantra of 자기 양육권. Had attention been paid to the real underlying promise of bitcoin — that it is sound money that cannot be controlled by anyone, given self-custody — it is highly unlikely that they would have had assets on a cryptocurrency exchange like FTX.
내가 가장 좋아하는 영적인 텍스트 likes to remind me, “We’re in a prison of our own making.” What’s the “get out of jail free” card? Buy or get paid in bitcoin. 로 전환 bitcoin 표준.
